Yellow Journalism Unmasked - A Satirical Take on Media Titans
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Yellow Journalism, 1909" by Joseph Keppler Jr. offers a scathing critique of the influential figures behind this notorious phenomenon in American media history. Depicted are William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, often referred to as the High Priests of Yellow Journalism during the early 20th century. In this thought-provoking cartoon, Keppler casts a critical eye on these men who wielded immense power through their newspapers - Hearst with his New York Journal and Pulitzer with his New York World. The artist cleverly employs symbolism, portraying them as priests adorned in yellow robes, signifying their manipulation of truth for sensationalism. The image captures an era when journalism was driven more by profit than ethical reporting. It serves as a reminder that even then, media outlets were not immune to political acts or biased narratives. Keppler's work is both visually striking and historically significant. Through his artistry, he exposes the dark underbelly of yellow journalism while highlighting its impact on society at large. This print stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of these two media moguls and serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked power within the realm of news dissemination. As we reflect upon this piece from over a century ago, it prompts us to question our own consumption habits in today's digital age where misinformation can spread like wildfire.
